Celebrating Our SCV Heroes – Community
Thank you Santa Clarita!
Community Members: The Santa Clarita community has long been known for banding together during times of crisis. When the first case of the coronavirus hit the United States, we began to see many residents coming up with ways to aide our community. From making masks for healthcare workers to providing groceries to single mothers Santa Clarita residents have shown once again why this community is one of the best around. “Our main driving force is that we want residents to know they are supported from their community and its ok to ask for help,” commented Jennifer Nelson, Santa Clarita Resident who answered a call to help single mothers with groceries.
